Complain about CBS being of the air

Are we going to get a deduction on our Broadcast Fee, since we haven't had CBS for 3 weeks, probably longer. Paramont Plus is being bogged down, due to high demand to watch CBS Shows. Freezing up, stopping in middle of a show, no sound.

Need to get this Channel back on Leadt by Monday.

Thanks for reaching out on our Xfinity Community forums about the loss of channels owned by E. W. Scripps @user_5odcu8.  

This programming is currently unavailable as Comcast’s agreement with the network has expired.

Please know Comcast pays programmers to bring you the entertainment you love, and a number of reasonable offers have been made that they haven’t accepted.

Comcast is working toward bringing back this programming, but only with fair pricing, terms, and conditions for customers.

We know unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be frustrating, and apologize for any inconvenience.

For more information, visit https://www.xfinity.com/programmingchanges.

I am writing to express my extreme frustration that CBS has been unavailable on my channel lineup for three weeks. This ongoing carriage dispute is absurd; your customers should not be used as leverage in negotiations between multi-billion dollar companies.

By depriving me of local programming, you are failing to provide the service I pay for. Please stop this "playground" posturing and reach an agreement immediately. This situation is actively driving me to look at streaming services outside of the Comcast ecosystem. If I am forced to switch to a competitor to get the channels I want, I will not be returning.

How is losing essential channels supposed to help your customers? I expect a resolution and a credit for the loss of service.

This is unfair. We pay for a set of channels, and we don't get them, we didn't know this was gonna happen. Our shows are on there and we're missing going on 3 weeks now. This is some <Edited: Language> xfinty should give us money back.  You had an adverse channel set, now, it's gone.

When will we get a credit for not being able to watch CBS for weeks now? This is about the only channel I watch on the bazillion out there and now it's not available.  I expect a credit to my account for not having this channel or the ability to watch on demand for these weeks.  This is absurd.

Bring back CBS. Network shows and local news are what I watch on CBS. I was told by your representative it would be back soon. That has happened!
